Terms & Conditions

We at LapelPinDesign.com believe that customer satisfaction is the foundation of a successful business. We back each and every custom lapel pin with our manufacturer’s guarantee. If you ever feel that your pins are defective, we want to hear from you. We are dedicated to customer satisfaction and we will replace any defective pins at no cost to you.

Each order is created through a team effort. You are a very important part of our team. We rely on you for vital information in order to produce the pins you want. While we are working together, we each have responsibilities. For your convenience, we have included these responsibilities below. Please take a moment to read them. These are the terms and conditions that govern all of our sales. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

LapelPinDesign.com is responsible for:

We will replace (at no additional charge to you) any defective custom product. We only require that you email us an image of the defective product(s) within 30 days of receipt. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “defect” or “defective” means a manufacturing error.

Giving you accurate information:

Prior to starting production, you will receive via e-mail a digital proof of your final custom-made product. This high-quality digital proof will allow you to spell check, verify Pantone colors, size and make any additional changes or corrections prior to starting production. The “size” of your lapel pin is determined by measuring the widest or tallest point of your design.

We use the Pantone (PMS) color matching system, and it is important that you indicate your color choices using Pantone PMS numbers. For additional information regarding the Pantone (PMS) color matching system, visit the Pantone site at www.pantone.com. In addition, because all computer monitors/ printers do not display colors in the same way, you should confirm your color choice by consulting a Pantone (PMS) color book/chart, which are available at most art supply stores and some libraries. All Pantone (PMS) numbers will be listed on the proof so that you can verify them easily.

Confirming your order:

Prior to production, you will receive an order confirmation letter via email. This order confirmation will contain (1) written specifications of your order (including pricing, type, size (widest point), quantity, colors, and the estimated production time, (2) a finalized digital proof (incorporating any additional changes or corrections), and (3) a link to our terms and conditions page. If the written specifications/finalized digital proof meet your satisfaction, just send us your approval via reply e-mail, and we will commence the production process immediately. Orders placed directly through our online ordering system allow a complete review of your ordering details, along with our Terms and Conditions. Therefore, online orders do not require a Confirmation Letter email.

LapelPinDesign.com offers an imitation jewelry product. The terms “Gold” and “Silver” are used to describe colors only. The terms “Gold Plated” and “Silver Plated” are used to describe shiny metallic colors. Any use of the term “gemstones” refers to the synthetic imitation of gemstones in your design.

Producing your order correctly & on time:

Once we have obtained your approval on the order confirmation described above, we will manufacture your order within the following time frames (Note: this is manufacture time, not delivery time):

Due to the extreme volume of pins ordered between the dates of May 1st to July 31st, there will be no delivery guarantees for any custom products implied or offered between this time period.

Large orders generally require additional production time. Replacement orders are subject to the same production time frames (as set forth above) as the original order. For more information, please speak to your sales representative. Your finished order will be shipped via UPS Priority International Air Service (at no additional cost to you for orders to be shipped to the United States) directly to the address you specify.
